ECOSEAL Plus™ Sealant

Knauf Insulation ECOSEAL Plus™ with Gasket Pro Technology, is a fast drying, water-based elastomeric spray that seals penetrations and joints in the building envelope, as well as provides a gasket between studs and drywall. ECOSEAL Plus™ dries to a flexible tough film and has great bond strength with low odor and zero V.O.C’s. ECOSEAL Plus™should be used with Knauf Insulation EcoBatts® or Knauf Insulation Premium Blowing Wool Insulation. Together, they form the ECOSEAL Plus™ System—a high performance, continuous and affordable air and thermal barrier for the building envelope.

Kit Description

ECOSEAL Plus™ was engineered to utilize commonly available airless spray equipment. This helps keep costs low and allows easy maintanence. Knauf Insulation has collected all the compo-nents in a convenient kit that contractors will need to start sealing immediately. These components include a GRACO Ultra Max 795 Airless Sprayer with 50 feet of hose, a 6 foot whip hose, spray gun, two nozzle extensions, tip guard and two spray tips. Also included is a hose reel, a digital display and an adapter/plug to enable the usage of two hoses simultaneously. Replacement parts and other accessories can be purchased at most paint supply stores.

Application

Knauf Insulation ECOSEAL Plus™ is applied directly from the bucket, with no thinning or mixing. Using an airless sprayer, typical drying time allows the installation of EcoBatt Insulation or Knauf Insulation Premium Blowing Insulation in just a few hours, in most cases. Once cured, it remains flexible over a wide range of temperatures. ECOSEAL Plus™ is designed to be installed by trained applicators. For training, go to ecoseal.knaufinsulation.us.

Total envelope solution.

Trade-friendly, no schedule delays

Unlike many foams, ECOSEAL Plus™ does not involve mixing hazardous chemicals at the jobsite, nor does it generate hazardous offgassing during cure. Therefore, ECOSEAL Plus™is safe to spray and dries quickly—so other trades stay on site and on schedule.

Significant acoustical Benefits

ECOSEAL Plus™ fills the gaps

ECOSEAL Plus™ penetrates gaps as small as ⅛". It coats the face of gaps smaller than this, like the joint of double plate. Sealing gaps larger than ⅜" should be backfilled prior to sealing with ECOSEAL Plus™.

Few temperature limitations for storage and application

It should be stored in a dry location with a temperature above 50°F.

Can be applied from 20° to 125°F, as long as the sealant is fluid in the bucket (a portable heater may be necessary in cold conditions).

Easy cleanup

ECOSEAL Plus™ cleans up with water; no chemical solvents required.

Specification Compliance

Meets or exceeds all state and federal VOC requirements for architectural sealants.

VOCs: 0

Technical Specifications Shelf Life

18 months in unopened containers.

Coverage Rate

Approximately 2400 linear feet per bucket when applied at a ¼" bead.

Temperature Limits

Application 20°F to 125°F

Storage: 50°F to 120°F

Note: Buckets should not be stored directly on cold concrete floors. Portable jobsite heaters are recommended when ambient temperature falls below 40°F. Protect from freezing. If frozen, completely thaw prior to use. Material must be allowed to thaw completely and be above freezing when sprayed. Once completely thawed, stir bucket for 60 seconds prior to spraying. Passes five freeze-thaw cycles.
